Kerala Police filed a case against 30 students for allegedly waving Pakistan flag in the campus. The incident happened in Silver College of Perambra in Kozhikode district of Kerala. According to the police, the incident happened on Thursday (August 29), during the college's union election campaign.Students belonging to the UDF, which includes KSU and MSF held a procession in the campus. Among the smaller flags of the respective organisations, a group of students also flattered a larger flag which resembled the flag of Pakistan.Soon after the visuals of the incident went viral on social media, Perambra Police launched a probe into the incident. Following the preliminary enquiry, an FIR was registered against 30 students belonging to the MSF under Sections 143, 147, 153 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code."We have enquired about the background of the students involved in this. As of now, there isn't anything suspicious or alarming about their past. The students claim that the mistake happened while printing the flag. We are verifying the facts," Peramabara .A representative from the student organisation, who spoke to India Today TV, admitted that there was a mistake at their end. "They [students] did not properly inspect the flag after printing. Our flag has two equal halves of white and green with MSF marked at the white portion. But in this flag, it was not of the right proportion, which made it look similar to the Pakistani flag. We cannot even think about waving Pakistan's flag," he said.The college governing body chairman AK Tharuvayi reportedly said that MSF flag was held upside down which made it look like Pakistan's national flag. He also said that the procession was held on a holiday and assured probe in the matter. However, the BJP has claimed that terrorists have sneaked inside the college campus and are trying to destabilise the harmony in the state.
